In short: Well done Bitton you've nailed it again!In full: Yet another superb year of muddy water and lots of smiles! Excellent support from the amazing marshals and locals. This is the one race that brings me back time after time. With the amount of rain we had beforehand, the course was challenging and waterlogged. So much fun! I'll be back!!!!

In short: Enough mud to make a hippo have an orgasm...!!!In full: Words cannot convey how much fun this race is. That fact that some choose to take their time & wallow in every muddy puddle they can find enroute says it all really...Enter quickly as they always sell out. Beg, borrow or steal a race number if need be but, if you only ever take part in one race - make it this one.Date of review: November 12, 2013

In short: Muddylicious!In full: My third Slog and as enjoyable as the first!Superb "race" and a wonderful reminder also that we have the freedom to do it.The only letdown was the poor PA equipment at the start,we couldn't hear all that was being said about the race.This was exacerbated by a few ignorant halfwits who carried on jabbering during the eulogy.Shame on them.Excellent course,the support all the way round was wonderful too!Hopefully I'll be back next year!Thank you everyone!! :-) Date of review: November 12, 2013

In short: Another well run Slog, but are things slipping?In full: Have done the slog several times over the last 7 years. The arduousnous of the course varies with the weather over the preceeding weeks - this year was pretty wet, so the course was at its glorious muddy, wet, best. As ever the hordes of marshals were in excellent form, very encouraging and did a great job. Overall its well organised, but some decisions have been taken that I believe have made the event fall from its previous high standards. Firstly there was no-one looking after the car-parking - in previous years someone has, and this helps to make parking easier.Secondly - the picking up of the numbers/chips was mishandled. Why was there one line for A-C (three letters) and then S-Z (8 letters)? I know there are not many UV and Z, but it resulted in a massive queue for the later letters of the alphabet. In previous years the numbers etc were posted out - I am happy to either include an SAE, or pay extra to cover the cost. Lastly - more loos. I note in particular that the indoor loos were out of bounds - would it be possible to have access to these, even if a cleaner was needed for an hour or two after the event? I would also move the loos away from the main area people congregate.Please don't take from these comments that I think the organisers have done a bad job - I think it is an incredible achievement to put this race on, its just that it can be better still.Many thanks for the event.Date of review: November 11, 2013

In short: Best race of the yearIn full: This is my 4th year running the slog and I can't get enough! Brilliant atmosphere, hilarious moments, great course marshals and lots of mud, what more could you ask for?Loved the socks instead of a race t-shirt as they replace the socks I wore during the race because they are beyond saving. It always amazes me how fun this race is and how well run it is. If you are thinking about entering the slog for the first time next year then do it! Just prepare for the mud!Date of review: November 11, 2013
